In our shop one of the departments have a problem. Their current environment
stinks. Oracle 8i is running on obsolete machine with very slow pace. They
will get 9i soon.
They asked me to select Dell based server for Oracle 9i EE with 4 disks and
controllers with Win XP OS (and may be RAID 5). It is going to be a server
machine to keep Oracle 9i and in addition about 40 other non-Oracle
applications. I would like to get an advice where to start from. Not all
information about these applications is available. So I prefer to write a
quote for as much as possible. Sound silly, but it is true.
The proposal will go on the boss' desk for the possible dollar's cut and then
his approval. May be somebody tried to write this kind of proposal?

from the server which delivers the 40 other apps.
Doesn't require a brain (nor a budget) the size of a planet.

Bad Idea (tm) - do not mix Database and Application server into one
platform. You will be better of with two smaller ones, specifically
tuned for their own purposes. The db will be disk bound, apps probably
CPU - and both want memory!
